*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016
Bill
Summary: AB 2017 would establish a program to provide grant
funds to public postsecondary schools for mental health
services.
Fiscal
Impact:
Unknown ongoing costs to provide grant funds to public college
campuses (General Fund or other fund source).
One-time costs of $240,000 and ongoing costs of $365,000 per
year for the Department of Health Care Services to provide

technical assistance to grantees and to oversee the operation
of the program (General Fund).
Ongoing costs likely between $1 million and $2 million per
year for the California Mental Health Services Authority to
develop grant guidelines, review grant applications, and
provide technical assistance to college campuses (General
Fund).
Unknown costs to public college campuses to put up matching
funds to receive grants under the bill (General Fund or
special funds). The bill would require public college campuses
that apply for funding to agree to provide a dollar-for-dollar
match or another match. Depending on the match requirement,
and the extent to which colleges could count existing program
funds for the match requirement, the bill could impose
additional costs on public college campuses.
Committee
Amendments: Delete the appropriation and require the Department
of Health Care Services to implement all the grant making
requirements.
